Abstract
The inhibition of D-glucose transport into brain by several hexose analogues has been investigated in adult anaesthetized rats. D-Glucose was transported with apparent Vmax. = 1.22 mumol/g per min, Km = 11.12 mM and Kd = 0.008 ml/g per min. 6-Chloro-6-deoxyglucose was transported with corresponding values of Vmax. = 1.33 mumol/g per min, Km = 5.5 mM and Kd = 0.0155 ml/g per min and inhibited D-glucose transport with apparent Ki = 3.01 mM. 6-Chloro-6-deoxymannose, 6-chloro-6-deoxygalactose and 6-tosyl-6-deoxygalactose also inhibited D-glucose transport, but 6-chloro-6-deoxyfructose was without effect. The results were consistent with a model for glucose transport at the blood/brain interface that involves a hydrophobic site on the transport protein at or near the 6-position of bound glucose.
